WARD XVI
POWERFUL SHOCK HARD ROCKERS SOAR WITH NEW SINGLE, UK TOUR, AND NEW ALBUM ON THE WAY!
The theatrical titans of the UK rock and metal scene, WARD XVI, are back and bigger than ever. The band are gearing up for the release of their jaw-dropping third album, Id3ntity, arriving Friday 11th July via
Earache Records. But first, fans will be treated to a new single and video, At The Window, out now. Watch the video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Hailing from the North West of England, WARD XVI have earned their stripes through a unique fusion of haunting storytelling, macabre theatre, and blistering hard rock. On stage, they channel the nightmarish journey of a female serial killer (Psychoberrie) with a full sensory experience that’s as chilling as it is unforgettable. Drawing creative power from legendary icons like Iron Maiden and Alice Cooper, and blending it with modern energy from Ghost and Skindred, WARD XVI have cemented themselves as a force to be reckoned with – equally at home in club venues, iconic stages like The Roundhouse, and major festivals such as Bloodstock.
Following the critical success of their last album, Metamorphosis, and with past singles, Blood Is The New Black, and, We Are Legion, both premiered on Kerrang! Radio and topping charts at Primordial Radio, the band now charge forward into the final act of their trilogy with Id3ntity.
With the stunning, At The Window, out now, plus a host of UK live dates and festival appearances, WARD XVI’s reign of theatrical terror and sonic brilliance continues to rise.
